Jaime Gibson’s Cleveland Clinic expenses
Jaime has had one heck of a fight on her hands for extremely too long! Since beating Cancer to now, RPF(retro peritoneal fibrosis) With so much in between. The RPF caused a huge mass behind the bladder. Which she found out wasn’t cancer, praise God! Her RPF has grown around her spine which she had some of the fibrosis scraped off and a stint put in her spine to keep the circulation open. Which helped in her ability to move around without assistance. The RPF could grow around it again. Causing a repeat of that surgery at some point although we pray that doesn’t happen! RPF is causing such bad inflammation around all her organs that she is now on a chemo treatment plan to decrease the inflammation. This is a long treatment. An expensive treatment! That will grow in cost as time goes because the amount of medication will triple in daily dosage throughout the time of treatment. She also has to get stints replaced about every 3 months in her ureters because of the fibrosis cutting flow off there as well. RPF is extremely rare and with Jaime having Lynch syndrome as well makes it her own unique form. She has stumped many doctors on many occasions but recently has gotten an appointment at the Cleveland Clinic with a specialist in RPF which is a super rare find. She is in so much pain more so in her back and has a car ride ahead of her that several people have stated they would like to prevent her from taking. Raising air fare for her and Joe along with hotel stay while they are there for her appointments would be a wonderful way in maybe easing some of this burden. They aren’t sure just how long the stay will be. And a person can only miss work so much. This would give them one less thing to worry with while Joe stays with her for as long as needed. He wouldn’t leave her side regardless, he never does. For so long so many have wanted a way to help and this is the best me and some family came up with. They themselves would never ask! I know any and all money raised will help with the trip and many more medical expenses that have and will occur. Lord knows she has had entirely more then one person would ever want.
Jaime and Joe are the first to lend a helping hand in anyway they know how. I’d like them to see the flip side of the generosity they are always giving! Jaime always tries to find the positive in any negative situation and this to me is one way I know how. The love and support for her is amazing. She’s never met a stranger and would give the shirt off her back to anyone of them. I know so many want to help so let’s do this! Joe and Jaime I love you both and so many others do as well we are just rallying together to show it!
